i have a circle and am fine with it. never been on a rectangle but i heard they get good bounce. i heard octagons get the bet but i really dont know to well.

I got one for 50 bucks on ebay and it was practically new. Try to get a round one 12 feet or over. But bigger isnt always better because it sags a little more in the middle and gives a little less bounce but more space for tricks

Price is the biggest difference between circular and rectangular, at this level at least. Once you step it up and start talking about gymnastics quality ones which cost thousands of dollars that is a different story; but for your back yard, any circular one more than 15' in diameter will fit your needs. Got mine at Sams club for a few hundred bucks and I have no trouble doing doubles on it

I have a rectangle tramp and there is a really big difference, mine isn't a string bed it's just a rectangle and I really like it. My friend has a circle and it is horrible and my neighbor has an octagon and it is better than the circle but still not the best. circle<octagon<Rectangle

I am too lazy to read if anyone said this yet, but if you get a normal trampoline like a circle. Its the most bouncy when its wet.

Yeah its just a lot different than dry, I have wondered the same thing myself. I could be the sound it makes, or the way it springs back because its water logged.

whatever you do, dont get a springless one. they tent to hurt my knees a lot more, and they are no where near as bouncy
